ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for receiving data from a network comprises a network interface and logic. The network interface is configured to receive a sequence of data packets from a network. The logic is configured to detect when a data packet is missing from the sequence. The logic is configured to initiate at least one retransmission of the missing data packet via a first transport protocol. The logic is further configured to initiate another retransmission of the missing data packet via a second transport protocol in response to a determination that an attempt to access the missing data packet is imminent.
